Ruth has taken an extended break from Loose Women during the divorce and recently discovered Eamonn being comforted by a younger female friend, according to The Sun.

The friend also insisted there was ‘no chance’ the pair would ever get back together.

According to reports, Eamonn and the woman connected on social media after they both became involved with a mental health charity.

A spokesperson for Ruth said: ‘Ruth has booked holiday time with Loose Women and has extended her leave. She looks forward to returning to the show in due course.”

Eamonn and Ruth recently unveiled they are headed for divorce after-work commitments “took their marriage in different directions.”

Although Eamonn’s new friendship would not be a reason for the marriage to break up, it is clear that Ruth did not know her until recently and has decided to take time off from work.

The source said: ‘Ruth was clearly aware that her marriage was crumbling, but as details come to light, her anger has turned to rage.

‘Eamonn’s friend is impressed by his attention and kindness.’

The pair met via Twitter after the woman replied to a message and it sparked a conversation between the pair.

The announcement was described as a ‘joint statement’.

A friend of Eamonn told the Mail: ‘Eamonn was blinded, it was terrible for him.

“He literally discovered it very shortly before it was published – you’re talking hours.

“It all seems a bit bizarre considering the statement said they hoped to keep the matter amicable.

‘Eamonn wanted nothing to do with it, he couldn’t see any reason why you would release that statement.

‘It was written and signed entirely by Ruth and her team. Ultimately, he had no power over it whatsoever.”

The Mail also revealed that Eamonn had confided how ‘very bad’ things had been with his wife in recent weeks, while his colleagues at GB News said they had been worried about him lately.

They said he was ‘down’, but blamed it on being in pain.

The couple tied the knot in 2010 after 13 years together – and say they are ‘determined to remain friends’ despite their split.

Eamonn and Ruth have reportedly had heartbreaking conversations about who will get custody of their beloved dog Maggie after their split.
